The War of 1812, the Spanish-American War and World War I were not just about national defense, but about many other things, like politics and the peoples trust.

The War of 1812 did not start because of a military action, but it was built up with the disagreements on trading and the taxing of goods shipped in and out of the U.S. The most important thing that got the U.S. in the War is the treatment of the Americans on the high seas.

World War I was a very important to the United States because it opened our markets to mass production of war weapons, and the U.S. jumped at the first opportunity to join and lead this market.
